Features

So capable, you won’t want to put it down. So thin and light, you won’t have to.

iPad Air 2 is an impossibly thin 6.1 millimetres. And it weighs less than half a kilo. So it’s even easier to hold in one hand and take with you anywhere.

Not just a thinner display. A better display.

By fusing what had been three layers into one, we were able to make the Retina display even thinner. That also made the display better, with more vivid colours and greater contrast. And a new anti-reflective coating makes it the least reflective display of any tablet in the world.

Security based on a one‑of‑a‑kind design: your fingerprint.

iPad Air 2 comes with our breakthrough Touch ID technology. With just one touch, it scans your fingerprint and instantly unlocks your iPad. It even lets you make secure purchases in iTunes, iBooks and the App Store.

Two amazing cameras. Cleverly disguised as an iPad.

The new iSight camera in iPad Air 2 has advanced optics, an improved sensor and a powerful Apple-designed image signal processor. There are also new features like panorama, time-lapse videos, slo-mo, and burst and timer modes. And the FaceTime HD camera has an all-new sensor and larger pixels for improved low-light performance.

Massive power. In its most minimal form.

The A8X chip delivers better CPU and graphics performance than its predecessor. In fact, with its 64-bit desktop-class architecture, iPad Air 2 is as powerful as many personal computers. And yet it still gives you up to 10 hours of battery life.

Faster Wireless. Good things come to those who don’t wait.

Wi-Fi on iPad Air 2 is fast — more than twice as fast as the previous generation. The Wi-Fi + Cellular model is equipped with faster, more advanced 4G LTE technology. And you can choose from a variety of carriers and flexible short-term plans.

Apps designed for iPad. And everything you want to do with it.

iPad Air 2 comes with powerful built-in apps that let you surf the web, check email, edit movies and photos, write documents or read a book. And there are hundreds of thousands of apps on the App Store, all designed specifically for the larger Retina display.

iOS. The mobile OS from a whole new perspective.

iOS is even easier to use with features like Control Centre, AirDrop and smarter multitasking. And because it’s designed for iPad, everything not only looks beautiful, it runs beautifully.

(4) A refurbished item that I wanted is no longer available. How can I ensure that I get an item when it's in stock?

Refurbished supply is usually very limited and we often run out of refurbished inventory. We recommend you act quickly if you see an item you like. A product will be reserved for you once you've completed checking out and we've received full authorised payment. Please note that some payment methods take longer than others and that availability of a refurbished product is not guaranteed until we receive your full payment.

1. Testing conducted by Apple in October 2014 using pre-production iPad Air 2 units and software. Testing consisted of full battery discharge while performing each of the following tasks: video playback, audio playback and Internet browsing using Wi-Fi or a mobile data network. Video content was a repeated 2-hour 23-minute film purchased from the iTunes Store. Audio content was a playlist of 358 unique audio tracks purchased from the iTunes Store. Internet over Wi-Fi and mobile data network tests were conducted using dedicated web and mail servers, browsing snapshot versions of 20 popular web pages and receiving mail once an hour. All settings were default except: Wi‑Fi was associated with a network (except for Internet browsing over a mobile data network); the Wi‑Fi feature Ask to Join Networks and Auto-Brightness were turned off; Brightness was set to 50%; and WPA2 encryption was enabled. Battery life depends on device settings, usage and many other factors. Battery tests are conducted using specific iPad units; actual results may vary.

2. FaceTime calling requires a FaceTime-enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi‑Fi connection. Availability over a mobile network depends on carrier policies; data charges may apply.

3. For details on LTE support, contact your carrier and see www.apple.com/ipad/LTE. Mobile data plan is sold separately. The model you purchase is configured to work with a particular mobile network technology. Check with your carrier for compatibility and mobile data plan availability.

4. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Internet access required. Mobile data charges may apply.
